X-Tenso and Cera Thermic

2008: one straightening product, five different results. The point was never “straight”; it was which straight.

If you are addicted to straightening your hair but struggling to dedicate enough time to this gruelling daily ritual then X-Tenso Cera Thermic might be the straightening system you've been looking for. X-Tenso Cera Thermic is the ultimate long lasting treatment for achieving silky, smooth straight hair daily.

The treatment works by dividing the hair into fine sections and a straightening cream applied and each section is then straightened with flat irons. The heat activates the Ceramide in the cream, which not only straightens your hair but nourishes it too. Finally, your hair is treated with a Cera Thermic finaliser to lock in the treatment. The effects will last for 6 months.

The beauty of this system is that we can adapt the process to suit your desired style depending on your hair type. Just ask our technicians for their advice. We offer the following techniques:

  • Ultimate Straight - Perfectly, poker straight hair
  • Naturally Straight - hair that looks like it has been blow dried with a round brush
  • Boho Straight - Straight roots then tapering to curled ends
  • The Halo Effect - anti frizz straightening for the top layer of hair
  • Target Straight - our technicians will concentrate on certain problem areas, such as fringes.

For those who would like a less permanent version, L'Oreal X-Tenso will tame frizz, de-volumise and smooth, and will last for 12 weeks.

We recommend a consultation with one of our technicians before your appointment. Consultations are free and usually last around 15 minutes. During the consultation we also will perform a skin test […]
